Six days after their 3-0 home win over the Sports, Adam Hinshelwood’s men went one better and won 4-0 at Priory Lane – a result that led to the Sports sacking manager Mark Beard after a poor run of form.
Top scorer Ollie Pearce set the Rebels on the road to victory with an 18th minute penalty and strikes from Nicky Wheeler, Ricky Aguiar and Joan Luque after the break wrapped up a comfortable win.
It put Worthing third in the table – and only three points behind second place Hampton and Richmond – and saw them pass 50 league goals for the season, the first team in National South to do so.
